Coin Stars"College students are lazy, but they also want to help," says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their sparecoins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.Her " Change for Change" effort has collected $40,000 for charities (慈善机构), which were decided upon by students. Never ForgottenA school in Massachusetts received a $ 9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s.When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.60、What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?A.Took photos of Doran.B.Had a meeting with Doran.C.Returned the prize to the organizer.D.Apologized to Wobum High School.61、Greg Rota’s decision shows that he was ____.A.honestB.politeC.carefulD.friendly62、The underlined word “change”in the second paragraph means ____.A.IdeaB.DecisionC.CupsD.Coins63、What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr.LeBermuth?A.They tried to find out why he gave them the money.B.They went to Belgium to pay their respects to him.C.They dug out the records that were buried underground.D.They decided to offer their students free room and board.64、Jacques LeBermuth gave the money to the school because ____.A.the school asked for itB.he had no need for that much moneyC.the school had helped him in the pastD.he wanted to be remembered by the studentsCWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns."People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr.Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good." So it can help save on the wear and tear on .our system and allow people to feel more energetic."So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first.Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology."Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr.Luskin."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time." Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain.Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (视角).You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear——even love.To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.65、The text is mainly written to explain ____.A.how to keep yourself from being hurtB.how to stay mentally healthyC.how and when to remain calmD.why and how to pardon others66、According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A.Try to figure out why you get hurt.B.Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C.Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D.Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67、Dr.Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _____.A.we are not patient enoughB.we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyC.people seldom want to apologizeD.people don’t mean it when they apologizeDBefore a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again.But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the " tank test".A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky.Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe.The metal structure (结构)of the plane has to be very strong for this reason.When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside.The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out.If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky.To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water.Then it is filled with air.The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air.Finally, there is an explosion.This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else.Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken.Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air.The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once.The plane begins to fall like a stone.It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again.These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.68、By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out ____.A.the amount of air in the planeB.the strength of the plane structureC.the.pressure inside and outside the planeD.the power of the airplane engines69、What will happen to the plane under the "tank test"?A.It will be broken.B.It will be made stronger.C.It will be filled with water.D.It will be tested by pilots70、According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?A.The plane may explode in the air.B.The pilot may lose control of the plane.C.The engines may be damaged.D.Too much air may get into the plane.71、What might be the most suitable title for the text?A.Two Important Tests on AirplanesB.The Importance of Flying SafelyC.The Danger of Testing AirplanesD.How Airplanes Are Made and TestedEIf you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh.There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions.For example,a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses.Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily.A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates.The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies.Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are.It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they do n’t regret their choice of study.72、By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ____A.shared the jokes with computer majorsB.earned as much as computer majorsC.found jobs more easily than computer majorsD.stopped joking about computer majors73、Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _____A.are ready to change when situations changeB.are better able to deal with difficultiesC.are equally good at computer skillsD.are likely to give others pressure74、The underlined word "land" in the last paragraph probably means ____A.keep for some timeB.successfully getC.immediately startD.lose regretfully75、According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A.Willingness to take low-paid jobs.B.Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.C.Skills in expressing themselves.D.Part-time work experience短文改错Dear Ralph,I’m a newcomer here of a small town.I would 76._________________

London has Speaker's Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don't collect money. They don't push religion（宗教）. So what's the point?"To see what happens," said Liz. "We simply enjoy life with open communication（交流）."Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return."It started as a crazy idea," Liz said. "We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.(1) What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?A. Chatting with people.B. Setting up street signs.C.

As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: "Mrs Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision（视觉模糊）ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting（用……替代）john's word for her medication Now Mrs Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.What I next felt can only be described as delight. Be-fore I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had TAL#NBSP clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine.

Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: run on solar energy from the sun's light and heat!Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol（"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"）. They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology（神话）.The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It's not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency（耗油量）rather than speed. In the week long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Water- bury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road. "That was my favorite part, "says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”Due in part to old, inefficient batteries（电池）, Helios finished fourth-out of four in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it, "Anna says. "Were proud of Helios, "says Ariel Gleicher, 14. It's a car that's good for the environment.(1) What is special about the car Helios in the text?A. It was built by middle school students.B.

The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely TAL#NBSP off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards:8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares, Being the first to arrive looking eager is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group （late thirties）falls somewhere between the two but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element（成分）of surprise.(1) The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean.A. tiredB. crazyC. curiousD. hopeless(2) Jane and David's story is used to show that.A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull(3) For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably beconsidered.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD. socially unacceptable(4) According to the writer, people in their late thirties.A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven't really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties(5) What is the general idea of the text?A. It's safe to arrive late just when food is served.B. It's wise to eat something before going to a party.C. It's important to follow social rules of party-going.D. It's necessary to read invitations carefully.21、【来源】 2004年高考真题全国卷II（E篇）第73~75题6分◆Annes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Australian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival（电影节）in May.
